Christmas In Leicester - Market in New Market Square

I visited Leicester`s first dedicated Christmas Market in the city's New Market Square to sample the fabulous festive food, Bountiful beverages and festive fun on offer. Open every day from 23rd November to 23rd December 2017 we see stalls offering Mulled wine, artisan crafts, traditional German sausages and even Turkish delight sweets.

John Finney - Organ Grinder

In this film we meet John Finney performing at A Woodlands Garden Centre Christmas event. John who is a traditional organ grinder in Leicestershire showed me his German Stuber street organ which has the "Berliner Sound", he tells me he prefers this model to other organs due to its brighter and less mellow sound. In the film John introduces himself and tells us about the organ before loading some music and playing a selection of well known pieces including some "Festive Favourites". John was fundraising for Newbold Verdon Methodist Church.
